Traits (Skills, Tallents, and Magic)

Jan 19, 2024 5:01 am

Instead of predefined classes, Tiny Dungeon uses Traits to express what your Adventurer excels at doing.

Rules says:

A character can never have more than 7 traits.

Note: the limit of 7 does not include your heritage.

Below are some traits for any to use but if you have an idea not listed let me know and we can word to create a new trait. This may take some testing and adjustments in play.
